My First $1000.00 Month!

57 replies
Okay I know that I still have not reached my goal income; however this is the first month that I have finally reached $1000.00. I have put in a lot of hours online setting up sites and writing articles, building backlinks and doing everything that this forum says to do and it has finally paid off.

I will keep doing everything that everyone says to do and want to see my income keep going up each and every month.

I owe it all to this forum for showing me the way!!

    Congratulations...you are not half way to 2K a month. Sounds like your work is bearing fruit. Keep at it, I am sure there is much more room for growth. Well done!

    Good job! I'm not even close but am starting to have the pieces fall in place. Somedays I feel like my eyes will fall out if I surf for one more credit! My payday will come right?

  • Cool. You have put a valuable priniciple to work, that too many others will never attempt. You took action, and it is starting to pay off.

    Congrats!!

    I don't claim to be an expert; all I did was find keywords that people are searching for with at least 3k each month or more and then find a product to promote if I felt that it was good. Build a Wordpress site and begin building links to it.

    Then I rinsed and repeated the process over and over. I am sure that there are easier ways to make money; but that is what has been working for me.

    Well done Susan, you're on your way, babe

    One of the lessons I have learned is that when you accomplish one goal the next goal becomes easier. Just stay focused and keep on keeping on. You'll find that as you become more proficient, more opportunities present themselves.

    Good luck!

    Congratulations Susan.

    How did you learn? Did you have a mentor?

    Unfortunately I can invest time only. But have been lucky once in my life and got Adobe CS3 Suit and new PC (new from scrap) for nothing. It took me half an hour to get addicted to Photoshop. HTML/Java/PHP were real challenge, just God knows how many times I got to the edge and nearly gave up. So far my first "baby" is alive but not completed - project's huge, I would say too big for newbie. Now I realised I should have started with something smaller and simpler

    WF is very helpful and friendly place and... distractive on the same time 

    I wish you all the best.

    Don't forget to update us on 08.30.09 OK?

    Wow that is so great - my last months income was the grand sum of 8cents (from Squidoo) and the funny thing was that I thought this was really good because I had actually come up with a model that could make money without me writing for others per page

    I love reading stories like yours because I know then that I can succeed too, thank you so much for the inspiration

    Well done, you've got past the hardest part! Now, the main thing to keep in mind, is stay focused on your daily tasks, if you're buildling a list, thats also great. But, here's the thing... Celebrate the 1k, but keep your eyes on the job, and before you know, you'll triple that 1k a month.

    A good little dicipline is not to check your affiliate stats more than once a day.

    Hope that helps!

    Hey Everyone

    I just wanted to say thanks for all the replies; it was a lot of hard work and not a day went by that I did not do something online towards my online business.

    It has taken me quite a while to get here; I have fumbled around with all kinds of online business models and failed in several of them. Until I ran into this site; I learned how to really do KW research. about 6 months ago I set up over 20 Wordpress sites based on KW's that actually get searched for and have landed all of them on the first page of google.

    I then just keep building links to those sites each and every month; while setting up new sites if I find the right KW. That is all I am doing to earn this money. I also build Hubs, Squidoo's every once in a while.

    Most of my income is coming from Clickbank and Adsense. I do have some coming from Commission Junction as well.

    Anyway I have to get back to work.

    Susan
